Only about 250 Munch motorcycles were ever built, with fewer than 50 delivered to the United States. Embracing the philosophy that "bigger is better," Friedl Munch of Germany introduced the bike that bears his name in 1966.

At a time when it was rare that a motorcycle was larger than 750 cc (Harley-Davidsons excluded, of course), the first Munch carried a 1000-cc four-cylinder NSU automotive powerplant -- and they would get even bigger.stx motorcycle for sale By the time production wound down in the 1980s, displacement was up to 1286 cc, resulting in 104 fuel-injected horsepower.motorcycle helmet chokes me It's rumored that no two Munch bikes were exactly alike. craigslist fort myers fl motorcycles for sale by ownerStyling can best be described as bulky, weight the same.motorcycle hand grips anti vibration

One of the greatest sidecar racers of all time was the German Helmut Fath. And this machine carried him to the sweetest victory of all. It’s called a URS, and it was sold by the Bonhams auction house last weekend for an extraordinary £102,700—a cool US$160,000. The price was high because there’s an action-packed story behind this bike (if you can call it a ‘bike’). In 1961, while heading for his second consecutive World Championship, Fath crashed his BMW heavily at the Nürburgring. His passenger Alfred Wohlgemuth died in the accident, and Fath himself spent a year in hospital recovering. When he came out of hospital, he recuperated by preparing BMW Rennsport engines for other motorcycle racers—and regularly outperformed BMW’s own factory efforts.Not surprisingly, BMW rejected Fath’s request for a factory ride when he was finally fit enough to get back on a bike. So he created a low-budget race team and built his own bike—the bike you see here—and named it after his hometown of Ursenbach.

Power comes from a 498cc four, with eight valves, two camshafts and twin-plug ignition. The engine revved to an amazing 15,000rpm and developed 88bhp, almost 20bhp more than BMW’s factory engines. In 1968, Fath used this machine to beat BMW factory rider Johann Attenberger and take the sidecar World Championship for a second time. An accident the following year knocked Fath out of the Championship once again, but the URS sidecar returned to action in 1971 at the hands of Fath’s race engineer Horst Owesle. Remarkably, BMW was again relegated to second and Owesle won the Championship.As the Bonhams auction notes say, “World Championship-winning racing motorcycles are rare enough but the URS’ achievement—winning this most prestigious title on two separate occasions, with three years between them and two different riders—surely will never be repeated. This is a possibly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the discerning collector to own this legendary racing motorcycle, which is unique in so many ways.”

The Galfer Rotor was listed as a fit for the rear rotor on a 2008 Buell XB12S but it isn't even close. It seems Galfer doesn't and possibly never made a rear rotor for said bike. Not what I thought It's a great battery, but I didn't know you had to put liquid into the battery. When it said maintenance free, I thought it was a gel battery. HOWEVER, I've got no complaints on the performance :) Dave (Las Vegas ) Better Than EBC Sintered! I used to buy only EBC Sintered brake pads, but I noticed sometimes the brakes weren't at 100%. These Bikemaster pads are very consistent in delivering reliable braking force. THIS PORTION OF OUR SITE IS CURRENTLY BEING UPDATED
